H&R Sport Springs for Audi A7 Sportback

A new range of H&R products has found its way into our online shop: H&R Sport Springs for Audi A7 Sportback.
H&R Sport Springs have been engineered to deliver improved handling and a lowered ride height while maintaining superb ride quality. Manufactured and tested at the H&R facility in Lennestadt, Germany, H&R Sport Springs are the ideal solution for the enthusiast who appreciates race-bred components designed for street use.

Stylish line, razor-sharp design and what a sculptural rear: the new A7 Sportback fascinates right away. The tailor-made H&R sport springs are fine tuned in order to harmonise perfectly with the standard shock absorbers of the A7 and provide unadulterated driving comfort despite the sportier set-up.

On the front axle, the H&R Sport Springs for Audi A7 Sportback lower the centre of gravity of the four-door coupé by approx. 35 millimetres, on the rear axle by 20 millimetres. As a result, the lines of the Ingolstadt-based premium model now appear even more impressive, while the lowering underscores the car\’s generous width. From a technical point of view, H&R Sport Springs for Audi A7 Sportback deliver a noticeable increase in driving dynamics. The special spring characteristics and the lower centre of gravity of the vehicle ensure minimised lateral inclination in fast bends and more dynamic steering.

For further refinement, the H&R engineers recommend the Trak+ wheel spacers, which allow the standard and aftermarket wheels to be aligned to the fender edges with millimetre precision.

The secret to such success? To put it simply, the technology H&R employs to develop cutting-edge suspension systems for competition use is the very same used to develop innovative suspension components for street-driven cars. For the eighth year straight, H&R has been named the supplier for the DTM teams of Mercedes. In addition, H&R maintains extensive involvement in several touring car, GT and Monoposto racing series, not to mention the Formula 1- where each circuit may have its own demanding characteristics. In the harsh environs of competition, H&R is able to test new materials and innovate production technologies that can help racing teams adapt to changing road conditions accurately and efficiently.

Clearly, H&R holds an advantage when it comes to developing competition suspension components, and it is this same flexibility and attention to detail that allows H&R to design and manufacture components like springs, shock absorbers and height-adjustable coil-overs for high-performance street use. Indeed, one of the greatest accomplishments an automotive component manufacturer can attain is to become an Original Equipment (OE) supplier for the automotive industry—and H&R has reached the highest echelon in the industry by supplying precision suspension components to some of the world’s greatest automobile manufacturers. For example, Porsche equips its ultra high-performance Carrera GT as well as its 996 & 997 GT II and GT III with H&R components, while Volkswagen uses them on the Golf R32, the fastest Golf ever. And recently, Mercedes Benz chose H&R suspension components for its CLK supercar, the CLK DTM AMG. Directly derived from Mercedes’ DTM race car, this special model is limited to a production run of 100 units, and with 580-bhp, is one of the fastest production street cars in the world.

All of H&R’s products are 100% made in Germany, and meet ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Standards as well as the rigid safety standards of the German TUV. In addition to the finest-quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, H&R prides itself in its ability to remain flexible in product development and production. Whether in motorsport competition or OE manufacturing, flexibility is key to fulfilling the many requirements of the industry today.

Simply put, H&R is more than just a suspension manufacturer — it is a company whose core philosophies are innovation, quality and performance.
